THE ROCK ISLAND.

AS was heretofore announced, the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska track reached our city
on Tuesday. The event was duly and prop
erly celebrated by the contractors, their
forces and citizens and officials Of this city
in conjunction at Furley night before last,
speech making and big collation. being the
feature of the joyful occasion, an account OF
which was published by US yesterday. Mr.
Sloat, the general travelling agent, arrived
in the city yesterday, and seems much
pleased with the outlook for through Chicago
business from the metropolis OF Kansas. MIR.
S. says that it is the intenticnto run through
Chicago trains to and from Wichita, COM
mencing day after tomorrow, which trains
viii be first class with sleeper and chair
Goa ches attached The freight depot at this
point is practically completed, room
in which can be utilized for passenger and
ticket purposes until the erection of the pas
senger station on Douglas avenue, which Is to
be second to nothing OF the character yet
b uilt in Kansas. Every evening now, and
within few minutes of each other, passen-
ger trains arrive in Wichita, one from Gal
weston. two from st. Louis, one from San
Francisco. one from Kansas City and Tope-
ka, one from Genesso and the west, one from
GreensbuIg and the west, one from the Dor
der at Kiowa, and now, with one from Chi
cago at the same hour Wichita would seem
pretty well fixed, especially as these trains
ALL except the Galveston train, arrive here
also every morning. Nineteen trains in and
nineteen trains out of Wichita, in addition
to The mixed trains and freight trains, rem
ders the railroad racket a lively one. We
have not learned, or did not understand of
Mr.. Sloat whether the Rock Island would
start with two trains in and two out daily
or only one each way, but at farthest it will
be but a short time until there will be both
morning and evening trains.
The Rock Island, with its well known lib
erality and enterprise, with its gentlemanly
officers and liberal management, is welcomed
to Wichita AS the main line of any rail-
road is the line that does the main business,
the main line of the Rock Island will be from
Wichita to Chicago.

BADLY BITTEN.

Yesterday morning young Charles Hotter,
a bow about nine or ten years of age, en-
pioyed by the Crawford opera house In DIS
tributing bills, was quite severely bitten. He
was on Waco avenue and went into the yard
in the fifth block north from Douglas avenue
He rang the door bell and while waiting for
some one to answer, small black dog ran
around from behind the house al seized him
bv the calf of the leg. he was barefooted
and wore knee breaches. The dog buried his
fangs into his flesh and inflicted severe
wound. His cries attracted several persons
and they managed to drive the savage little
animal away The boy was brought to the
opera house and from there sent home in
carriage much exhausted from the loss OF
blood

BASE BALL.
Winfield Gives up the Ghost. Giving Wichita
an Increased Lead.

The Wichita's won todays' game at Arkan-
sas City by score of eight to four, giving
them two out of the three games there this
week. Wellington today won again from
Emporia, giving her three straights this
week.
The Wichita's are still ahead and viii re-
main so. Winfield struggled along and
tried to play little ball, but couldn't, and
notified President Walden that they could
not play their three games here Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
Arrangements were at once made by tele-
graph and Wellington agreed to play here
on Friday for the Ladies' Benevolent Home
This is much more satisfactory to admirers
Of the national game as the Wellington slug
gers are good team and will give the spec
tators much finer exhibition of ball playing
than any other club in the
Wichita four out of six games and are killing
off Emporia and Arkansas City in three
straight games each series. This will be the
hardest fought game OF the season as both
clubs will distinguish themselves before so
large and select an audience as will be as
sembled on that occasion. Already very
large number of tickets have been sold. The
street car company has made perfect ar
rangements for taking the crowd directly to
the grand stand and back up
town for only dime, and altogether
everything will be made more pleasant.
The attendance of the leading society ladies
of the city promises to be almost unanimous.
Already there is large number of promi-
nent ladies selling tickets, but the ladies who
have the matter in charge, earnestly request
that every lady in the city that can possibly
do so, will this morning 60 to President Wal
den, at the A. D. T. Office and procure
tickets to sell about the city and
help swell the fund for the Home.
There is an understanding among the Ia
dies that they will occupy seat in the grand
stand, which are much cooler and more
pleasant than in carriage and buggies The
gentlemen should all take their wives, daugh-
tiers and weethearts to see the game and help
in making such an attendance as will estab-
lish criterion by which the already far
famed charity and noble generosity of Wich-
tia is to be measured in the future. Let
everybody go. The game will be
called promptly at half past three. Cars
will run down clear to the grand stand at
very short in terval and in sufficient numbers
to easily accommodate every one comfort
ably.
The managers are in communication with
the Omaha club, who say they can play here
on the 23rd and Oath of this month. They
will in all probability come. There will be
another game here the last of this week.
The state league clubs with Winfield
thrown out, stand as follows:

MYSTERIOUS SHOTS.

Night before last about - O'Clock, several
people in the neighborhood of North Main

possible they arose and went TO the place
from whence the report the shots We're fired
They saw two persons, one leading the ether,
sinking through the alley, but they were
soon lost sight OF, and the shots. its object,
and its victim, if any, remain mysteries.

was plead yesterday.
JUSTICE COURT.
Ed Dixon, against whom suit for assault
was brought by news boy, came into JUS
tice Walkers court yesterday and changing
his plea of not guilty, paid a fine and costs.
1t appears that the boys were in the habit of
congregating before Mr.. Dixon's place of
business and annoying him more or less ny
their boisterous conduct. He went out to
order them away when one gave him saucy
reply which was responded to by kick.
For this the little fellow brought suit. There
was considerable civil business in both of the
courts, but no cases of any great conse-

A FISH MARKET.

These are warm days and fish instead of
fowl and flesh would ow and then prove
very acceptable to the average citizen.
Wichita's new directory shows thirty odd
meat markets and not q single fish market
What fish we do get are lake fish from five
to eight days out of water, soft in texture
and firm in rancidness. They are bought in
the northern lakes, shipped by vessel to
Chicago, thence by rail to Kansas City,
from whence they are ordered by Wicnita's
meat dealers These fish in 10 way compare
with salt water fish. Now we have daily
express from Galveston to Wichita, thirty
hours enroute; why wouldn't it pay some
enterprising and experienced fish man to
give us fish market. Every morning at
Galveston from the bay and gulf are taken
cart loads Of crabs terrapin, sheeps-head,
mackerel, red fish, rock fish and dozens OF
other varities, all splendid fish. The next
evening these varities could be laid down in
Wichita comparatively fresh and firm.
Every body is tired of the eternal "beef, NUT
ton and pork" reply of our butchers, and we
predict success for the man who will 60 to
Galveston and make his arrangements for
daily shipments of salt water fish.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MANUFAC.
TORIES AND INDUSTRIES IN WICHITA.

Few people are. aware of the number of
industries and manufactures maintained in
Wichita. In the absence of any great DOM
inant special manufacturing interest many
strangers are led to conclude that the city is
almost entirely destitute of industrial and
m anufacturing concerns. True, as yet we
have no factory in the exclusive line of wood,
leather, glass or paper which employs its
hundreds of hands, but we have those, and
some of them in the lines mentioned, which
employ from five to fifty experts each. Who
would. believe, counting such industries as
printing offices, mills, wagon shops, harness
makers, tin shops, confectioners, etc., etc.
etc, that Wichita today has one hundred and
fifty two manufacturing industries, employ
ing between one and two thousand people
and supporting four or five times that num-
Der. yet such is the fact, as anyone can as
certain for himself by examining the late
city directory. They are all such as natur-
ally fall in the wake of and that come in
response to the demands of a commercial life
such as Wichita boasts.
